The
Batman –
Season 1, Volume 2: A few more episodes in the new
Batman
cartoon. I may never collect this one, though I’m
excited about the
promise of eventual season sets for Batman
Beyond andJustice League.

Species
Collection: All three movies collected in a single
boxed set.
Having now seen and reviewed them all, I’d say that
you’re better off
with either the first or none of them, depending on
tastes. If you
can get through number two, you might as well watch
the third, as they
do get better.

Teen
Titans –
Season Two, Volume One: I haven’t gotten around to
watching this
series. If it’s anywhere near as good as the other
Dini/Timm
collaborations, I’m sure it would be worth it.

The
General: Another release of the Buster Keaton
classic. I haven’t
seen any releases by Aae films, so I don’t know what
the quality of
the transfer will be like, but the Kino
release
looks great. A close second for “Pick of the Week,”
which lost out
simply because I don’t know what the video quality
will be like. A
rerelease of the Kino edition would have been the
pick.

Mallrats
–
10th Anniversary Edition: In an homage to the 80s
college
comedies, Kevin Smith turned out his second Jay and
Silent Bob movie.
It’s amusing, but it’s probably the weakest of the
five.

On Desperation of Housewives
Go ahead. Give in to temptation. Sure, Desperate Housewives is a soap opera, but it’s got the potential for being the best American (qualified since soap operas are everywhere and I’ve only watched “local” ones) soap opera of all time. If you read synopses of the basic plotlines the show seems just like any other soap but the execution puts it on another level. We’ll see if they can continue the excellent writing and acting this year, but season one stands as being a hell of a lot of fun.

Wallace & Gromit for US$5.50
I picked up a version of the Wallace & Gromit collection for US$5.50 at Walmart last year, was surprised to find it in their bargain bin. Well worth the money at three times the price.

That’s Season One + Miniseries
Apparently we lucky ones in Region 1 are getting a five disc set that has the miniseries as well as season one for Battlestar Galactica. Suddenly ‘kind of expensive’ went to ‘money well spent’ in my camp – hopefully my supplier isn’t out of stock and I can get it in at work…
